No. There's a couple of things you could try: i) do a 'dmsetup info <dev>' and confirm that the 'open count' is 0 ii) use 'lsof' to find out who has opened the device. Device mapper uses reference counting on the devices, so you will always be able to remove the device successfully, but it wont really be destroyed until the last opener closes it. - Joe _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
